Blah blah blah... those people “ touch of grey heads” . Never heard that before. Anyway, they were created by the long veteran dead heads that were

just trying to get to the next show so they/ you , we are everywhere sold them and dressed them and dosed them while the music never stopped, created people dancing in the streets, just so some could survive on the days between.. and fuel the bus... so who ruined it all, well it seems that of which was created by the ones that oppose the change, is still living on. A dirty dead head in a broken down bus still living in times more suited to be a bum, or a Prius driving dead head that took a shower everyday this week and likes to party just like all of us, again, we are everywhere.. Or just put the blame on phish... 🙂

Gone Both... Dream and Lie.
"Heads" will endlessly debate when the "golden age" of The Dead ended. Some go by decades: "They sucked after the 1970's", etc. Some go by keyboardists:
...
"They were never the same after Pigpen, everything changed when Brent died, Vince sucked...", etc. But the REAL death of The Dead seemed to coincide with the death of "Uncle Bobo". (Bill Graham). He was the REAL force behind the power of the band, and after his tragic demise, things changed forever. Jerry started singing, "NOTHING new is waiting to be born" during "Crazy Fingers", and it was as if whatever "magic" that surrounded the band went into the Great Beyond with Bobo. Odd, but true, IMO.

Peggy O and Stella Blue
This was my 2nd show. My dad took me to this one after spending some time in Yosemite with him. What a cool dad! This was the day of Bill Graham's funeral,
...
so it was a bit emotional for everyone. Note the acronym BGP (Bill Graham Presents) in the openning 3 tunes. It was a rough start, but come Peggy O (or should I say El Paso as listed above), everything was so nice. Garcia sweetly sings, "Sweet William he is dead, pretty Peggy O." So touching. Not a bad show. STELLA BLUE is absolutely gorgeous if you want to cut through the chase. And thanks to those who upload great quality recordings to this site. And as the Dead were obviously saying, "Thank you (Bill Graham) for a real good time!" I'd up this to 5 stars but there are flaws in the recording during Bertha and Greatest Story Ever Told.

Still wonderin'.........
When will it ever be explained why so many shows always have Peggy-O listed as "ElPaso"?? Things heat up during Wang Dang and off we go.........................
...
exactly 6 months earlier in Vegas, I was lucky to get a face to face w/ Bill on his Honda at one of the gates in the lot before the show got rollin'. Just another show for him, but a fine moment for myself. I am blown away by the gift this guy was every day of my life. Wolfgang's Vault is just a click away....check out what else he left us with. Thank you for a real good time.

and oxygen-sucking sound cause a dancer to spin out of control through the entire escapade. Some minor problems on First Set, of course ~ the usual drop-outs and clicks and pops ~ but it all settles into a spontaneous second set capped off in grandeur by Stella Blue. It rates a 4 due to sounds quirks, but the recording is excellent for those quirks and the performance is a 5.5. Averaged out it's a 5.

This was my first show. My aunt took me for my birthday. Before this my exposure to the Dead was 'American Beauty', 'In the Dark' and that 'Skeletons in

the Closet' greatest hits thing. I had no idea what to expect. Needless to say, the bus came by and I got on. My mind was blown...and then it all made sense. I had a lump in my throat during the "sweet William, he is dead..." line in Peggy O. This is a real solid show. Killer 'Wang Dang Doodle', 'Bird Song' is exquisite. 'Crazy Fingers', 'Playin'...' and the awesome jam out of space. This was the run of shows that came on the heels of Bill Graham's death. This is a real solid show. This whole run was pretty great. Everything leading up to the amazing 10/31/91 2nd set...

Mahony's show. It was either the 30th or the 31st. I don't remember Eddie sellout two shows, but i could be wrong. I really thought it was halloween..........what a storm. Not best for fliing.

To Thai: Bill Graham died on 10-25-91, before this run started. IMHO, The Touch heads had already infiltrated the scene by 1991, not to say that it didn't

keep getting worse as the end neared. As well, some would say that Bill's son got his style from none other than his father. The opener was Bertha, GSET, Peggy'O, not Promised Land.

the transcendant absolute...
This show i feel is an extremely pure distillation of the Grateful Dead alchemy- the unique ability to reflect the spirits and unify with the attendees.
...
The sound quality is pristine and the playing absolutely superb. Bill Grahams funeral was the morning of this show and his spirit was missed - the thoughtful gestures like apples were given away prior to the show. The music in the second set is sublime and brought everyone to a magical moment of stillness and unity, the music was so profound - it was one of those nights where clapping was superflous and the mojo was truly on. Around 20 friends that were there also expressed that it was a truly intense moving experience unparalled in many many shows attended. The transcendant absolute.
